One of the best ways to keep pets happy and active during the winter months is through interactive games. Whether you’re playing fetch in a hallway, setting up an indoor obstacle course, or teaching them new tricks, these activities keep your pets mentally stimulated and physically active. Puzzle toys are also a great option to challenge their minds and prevent boredom, especially when long walks or outdoor play aren’t possible.
For dogs, playing hide-and-seek with treats or their favorite toys can be a fun way to engage them. Cats might enjoy chasing laser pointers, climbing scratching posts, or exploring new spaces with cardboard boxes or tunnels. These indoor activities are not only fun but are also great ways to bond with your pets.
When it comes to keeping your pets clean during the winter, baths can be tricky due to the cold weather. If outdoor baths aren’t an option, consider using our Kenic Dry Shampoo or pet-safe wipes to freshen up their coats in between full baths. Regular brushing can also help remove dirt and debris, while keeping their coats tangle-free and reducing shedding. Always be sure to dry off their paws after coming inside to prevent irritation from salt or ice.
As we embrace the new year, remember that keeping your pets engaged and clean during the winter months ensures they stay happy and healthy, even when the weather outside is frightful!
